There's a long time ago...several weeks and I'm still going strong.I fill my dayswith themostfunandinterestthings. Such as painting walls in the garage...preparingthe gardenfor the winter.....meeting friends....work of course......but unfortunately very little done in the studio.But thereisnothing that stop me fromthinkingandplanningwhile doingeverything else:)

So I have been thinking abouta tripto Barcelonaa few years agowhen Iwas inspiredbyPicassohimself visiting the museum. What a fantasticmuseum! Iwalkedaround in there and my brain started create. I saw potential in shapes and colors...in a playful way.

Back home Istartedand surched a way to make a picturewithtextilepaintand fabrics.I painted,applicatedand printed.

I made a pillow!

...and I also made a small quilt that is missing!!!!!

How I have been looking.....I'm sure that I find it some day in a box that haven't been unpacked since we mowed to this house.

I show it to you some day!

What a great summer it is﻿! :)Wherever we have been the sun is shining. For the last weeks we have been in Öregrund and I visited Forsa in Hälsingland learning a method to learn children read. Quite interesting!

Now...home again and one of the first thing to do.. except garden...is to sew.

I decided to finish the blue quilt to my brothers daughter who had a child in maj. Hi, grandpa!

A little girl named Amilia! Soooo qute!

After a long day in the studio I had a nice time sitting in the sun binding the quilt.

I did some stichery too...thought the quilt needed it!

This is the result!

Amilias quilt!

......and the back

.......I love to use different fabrics and left over blocks.....

I quilted it with hearts and circles and stitched Amilias name and year of birth.

....the last thing was to make cross stitches on the red stripe......:)

I visited Pink Chalk Studio and read about Kathys appeal to let us show our sewing room or place.

It's so fun looking and be inspiered about all fantastic places where quilts are made. Rooms where we dream, plan and create wonderful things.We stach fabrics in many various ways more or less organized.

Our rooms are more or less tidy, and sometimes a chaos. I think it doesn't matter how it look, each sewing room mirrors the creator and that's charming.

Quiltstudio 22 is my place since two years when we build our house, and I had my dream come true....my own studio!

What I like most about my studio is the light and space. The view is fantastic and here is all I need to sew or just dream and plan the next "masterpiece". Most of my fabrics are stored in boxes and organized by colors.

The computer is a valuable tool ......how did we manage whitout it?

This is how it look in my studio when it is as most creativ :)

I love all my things!

This is the newest in the studio, a shelf with my favorite books!
The next step will be a sink where I can dye and paint fabrics.

I'm here too!

About Me

I love quilts! I have been a quilter since I sew my first quilt at the age of 15. That’s a long time ago! I live with my family at Frösön,in the north of Sweden. From our house I can see Storsjön and the mountains. In my studio I work with my quilts inspired by nature and colors around me. Besides quilting I like to run and ski.
